Resistance, Reformation and Revival
Since 1991 Africa Christian Action has been campaigning for life and liberty, for the Faith, the family and for our future, by standing for the right to life of preborn babies, opposing abortion, promoting adoption, standing for the family, opposing pornography and perversion, working for a better future, by seeking to apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life, through Literature, Leadership training and Love in action. Through Information, Intercession and Involvement we seek to work for Biblical Reformation and pray for spiritual Revival. "Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?" Psalm 85:6
26 years of Legalised Abortion in South Africa
Legalised abortion is a national disgrace. Every year we lose more pre-born babies to abortion than the combined death toll of crime and car accidents. Since 1 February 1997, over 2,000,000 babies have been killed in South Africa, by abortion, mostly with taxpayers’ money. "They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters . . . the land was desecrated by their blood." Psalm 106:37-38
Sanctity Life Sunday
For this reason, we challenged Christians who respect the Sanctity of Life to observe Sunday, 29 January as a day of Prayer and Repentance for the national sin of abortion. We made available Bible studies, sermons and other audio and visual resources to enable and empower Pastors throughout the country to preach on when life begins and what the Bible teaches on our Christian duty to love our neighbour, speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and to rescue those being led away to death. We recorded radio and TV programmes dealing with the right to life of preborn babies and the need to expose the abortion holocaust. You can view a Sanctity Life Sunday sermon, God Hates the Hands that Shed Innocent Blood, here "If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
Rescue the Perishing
For over thirty years Africa Christian Action has been vigorously standing for Faith and freedom, campaigning for Life and Liberty throughout South Africa. We have published many tracts in numerous languages, published many articles and books to inform, inspire and involve Christians to stand up, speak out and step out in faith for life and liberty. “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. Deliver those who are drawn toward death and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, ‘Surely we did not know this,’ does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?” Proverbs 24:10-12
March for Life 2023
Wednesday 1st of February 2023 marked the 26th anniversary of the legalisation of abortion on demand in South Africa. Every year, on the anniversary of this disastrous legislation, Africa Christian Action has organised the March for Life to parliament, followed with a Prayer vigil and Repentance service outside the gates of parliament. Our March for Life was in the form of a Funeral Procession, in which we walked through the centre of town to Parliament. In order to alert Capetonians to the reality of the abortion holocaust taking place in our land, Africa Christian Action dramatized the event by hiring a hearse to lead the procession which marched down Darling Street, past the Castle and City Hall, into Adderley Street, into Spin Street, then Plein Street to assemble outside the gates of Parliament. We dressed in black, carried crosses, flowers, posters and banners for a greater impact to accentuate the need for national repentance. Placards at the March 4 Life proclaimed: “Abortion Kills Babies”; “Every Abortion Stops a Beating Heart"; “in God's Court Abortion is Murder"; “Abortion – the Ultimate Child Abuse"; “ a person is a person no matter how small"; “Abortion: One Heart Stops, Another Heart Breaks”; “Babies are a blessing”; "protect pro-life medics from prosecution" and “Choose Life! So that you and your children may Live.”
Prayer Vigil at Parliament
At the main gates of Parliament, Africa Christian Action led a Memorial Service prayer vigil. This included laying little coffins, crosses and flowers against the walls of Parliament in memory of the over Two Million babies killed by abortion in South Africa since 1997. We sang the hymns: Rescue the Perishing and Amazing Grace. A variety of pastors and Christian leaders prayed prayers of confession, repentance and imprecatory prayers from the Psalms. You can view photographs of our March for life and prayer vigil on the Africa Christian Action Facebook page: “Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city she speaks her words…” Proverbs 1:20-22
Save Lives – Stop Abortions
We provide tracts, posters and other resources for pro-lifers throughout Southern Africa to organise their own Pro-life Prayer Vigils, or demonstrations outside abortion clinics in their own city. You can access many of these pro-life resources on our website: https://www.christianaction.org.za/ "Could you men not keep watch with Me for one hour?" Matthew 26:14

27 years of Salt and Light
Please continue to pray for our weekly Salt and Light programme on Radio Tygerberg: ACA has been producing Salt and Light radio programmes every week since August 1995. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.” Philippians 4:8
Yours for Faith, the family, freedom and the future.
